Austin Internet rumor of the day: election peculiarity?

It finally reached the listserv that I administer. I wondered whether it would. Since first posted, just after midnight this morning, it has really gone around town and it has reached me seven times so far. Here it is, in full and verbatim: "Yesterday a friend voted early at a polling location in Austin. She voted straight Democratic. When she did the final check, lo and behold every vote was for the Democratic candidates except that it showed that she had voted for Bush/Cheney for president/vice pres. She immediately got a poll official. On her vote, it was corrected. She called the Travis County Democratic headquarters. They took all her information. They told her that she wasn't the first to report a similar incident and that they are looking into it. So, check before you leave the polling booth, and if anything is wrong, get it corrected immediately. Report any irregularities to your local Democratic headquarters."
